Subject: Drug treatment in the criminal justice system

 

Punishment rarely heals people.

I'm sharing a long post -- mostly written last fall -- on drug treatment in the criminal justice system.   It speaks to a complicated subject that is important, but not at top of mind for everyone.   It does relate to pending legislation,. I'm interested in feedback from those who do have thoughts about it. I'm also sharing a podcast on the same subject.
